On the Brink of a New Mindset

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers!! While was in church yesterday, something kept screaming, “It’s All In the Mind”. I feel like everything that we face is God’s way of trying to get us to change our mindset. The mindset of a victim is very similar to the mindset of a victor. The only difference is the way the see things.For the victor, problems are seen as opportunities. While for the victim, problems are seen as things being “done to me”. I’m going to continue to explore this for the next few weeks. I feel like even the stories where people say God was angry and attacked them, came from the mindset of the victim. We’ll have to explore that together. However, let’s start today knowing that we win! We were born to win!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I am a Winner! I am Free! I am the Head! I am Above! I am the Lender! I am Victorious! Life brings me Joy! I love and approve of myself! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! ALL IS WELL AND i AM SAFE! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

Testify Thursday!

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers!!!! This week has been a little off! I started Monday with having a student in every class having to be removed because their behavior was so off. I couldn’t figure what I had done to attract that type of behavior to myself. In my meditation, I’m noticing the feelings of powerlessness come up. I’m used normally telling the children what to do and expecting them to do it! However, since I have started allowing them to be more themselves, when I do try to control them, they go ballistic. It was even so bad that one of my 2nd grader was kicking over chairs and everything. . .  Although this is not one of those positive stories, the point is; we attract various experiences to ourselves. All it takes is a few minutes to close your eyes (Stop, Think, and Breathe) to create a shift. Yesterday I had two 4th grade classes, 1st grade classes, 5th grade classes  and 3rd grade classes. We had an awesome time. A SImple Shift in my Thinking!!!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I Teach with Joy and Ease! I love what I do! It’s my passion! I trust the process of life! I flow easily with change! My life is divinely guided. I am always headed in the best direction. ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

Caravan of Love

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers!!!!! It’s time for us to unite as the human race and spread more love! Love is the tool God has given to cancel out sin and evil! No more talks and gatherings about other stuff. Every gathering that is meant to drive change, should be called the love gathering! How can we love each other through these issues? Love means support, understanding, caring, kindness, acceptance  and compassion. It takes a lot to love!But it’s worth it! No more spreading of guilt and blame but let’s spread love! Now is the time to make a choice! We can either live in fear or love! The choice is yours. Even if you don’t know how to love, the world will only get better by you trying. Let’s think thoughts of love toward ourselves and then toward others! Love thy neighbor as you love yourself! Even if you never make it to loving your neighbor, the world will still benefit from your love of yourself! The Isley Bothers said it best! “Every woman, every man Join the caravan of love.Everybody take a stand Join the caravan of love!”

Daily Affirmations: Today is Amazing Day! I feel Vibrant and Alive! I Love and Approve of myself! Today I spread love! The Love I give myself, I spread to others! We live in a safe and secure world.

The Madness of Monday!

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers!!! As we open this new week, let’s spread hope instead of getting caught in the madness of Monday! Most people dread Monday. They hate their jobs. They hate getting up early! They hate the hustle and bustle. They get anxious about the things they have to do and finish. This why the heart attack rate goes up on Monday. However, just a simple five to ten minute meditation can shift your anxiety to hope and joy! Even if you close yourself off in the bathroom and set the timer on your phone. Stop, Think, and Breathe for as long as you can! Spend time thinking about what brings you joy, love, and peace. I don’t watch the news because that causes a great deal of anxiety too. I’m going to suggest not watching it on Monday morning until you have found your personal peaceful haven. Do whatever you need to do in order to not get caught in the Madness of Monday!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I am happy and Grateful to be alive! I love my Job! I love the people I work for and with and they love me. My job is a peaceful haven. I send love to anyone who might annoy me today. Today I work with joy and ease. ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

Test Defy Thursday

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers! You defied all the odds and passed the test! And I wanna know all about it! Dare to step outside of the box! Dare to be great! I had a goal not to yell at my students. Yesterday as I was teaching, one of my students kept jumping up and down and rolling on the floor while we were reading. That is a pet peeve. Reading is one of the most important things to me. So I started in on him. I see in the corner of my eye one of my students raising his hand as if there was an emergency. “What” I yell. He didn’t say anything he just put his hand over his chest and stomach. That’s our sign for taking a deep breath and repeating our affirmation (ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM. ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL. ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD. ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE) This gave me joy for the rest of the day!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! Every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow. I trust the process of life! I love and approve of myself. I am vibrant and alive! I choose joy, love, and peace! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove

Not Exciting. . . What?

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers! One the things that burns me up inside is a student yelling out in the middle of a lesson, “This is Boring!” I get so angry. I pride myself on keeping an active classroom, but there are sometime when you just have to sit, listen, and learn. So in these times when a student yells out, “I’m bored” I feel I have to make sure they are “not bored anymore”. So I make them copy the dictionary for the rest of class. Now in my whole career of over 15 years this has happened maybe 5 times. However just this year, it has happened every week. I figure this must be my time to face my issues with this. I just really don’t how anyone can be bored? I could live at home for the rest of my life and still find so many things to do that I would be busy from sun up to sun down. Watching TV would not be one of them. Anyway if every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow. This is what I’m gathering from my experiences of the past few weeks. Sometimes when children don’t understand how to do what you’re asking, they say the hated B word. Sometimes when children were expecting you to behave a certain way and you behave different they say the hated B word. There are various reasons but you will never know until you ask. The point is to release the need to try to control everybody and everything; and ask for clarification. By asking questions, it stops me from going into “pet peeve” mode and it becomes a learning experience for both me and the student. Lesson: When people do things to annoy you, Stop, Think and Breathe and Ask questions or Walk away!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I love myself! I love others! I release the need to try to control everything and everyone. I trust the process of life. I flow easily with life. Only good comes from each experience. It is an opportunity to learn and grow! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove
